What's your take on James Allsup?

2017-11-07 17:45:36 UTC  

James allsup?

2017-11-07 17:45:56 UTC  

Very conservative youtuber.

2017-11-07 17:46:03 UTC  

hmmm ill check him out

2017-11-07 17:46:14 UTC  

Decent followng, 167k subs.

2017-11-07 17:46:33 UTC  

I don't know, I like him but I think some of his videos lately have been iffy.

2017-11-07 17:46:36 UTC  

Is he a retrograder?

2017-11-07 17:47:18 UTC  

I dont want to authoritarians on either side to gain too much traction

2017-11-07 17:47:26 UTC  

Not sure what you mean by that. Like is he hyper traditionalist?

2017-11-07 17:47:34 UTC  

Yes

2017-11-07 17:47:52 UTC  

Would use the same tactics as an SJW

2017-11-07 17:47:59 UTC  

Maybe, I suppose it depends on your perspective.

2017-11-07 17:48:22 UTC  

Like fireing someone becouse of his opinion

2017-11-07 17:49:14 UTC  

No, I don't think he supports that. On the other hand that's a very nuanced subject.

2017-11-07 17:49:44 UTC  

For example, I personally would find it hard not to judge someone's character if they called themself a communist.

2017-11-07 17:50:22 UTC  

Sure doesn't speak well of their intention to support my capitalist enterprise.

2017-11-07 17:51:33 UTC  

I wouldn't fire them solely on that position, but it would open up the possibility lol

2017-11-07 18:00:21 UTC  

I don't know I think James can be kind of self-righteous. He's generally on the right side of things but his approach is what turns me off. Now that I think about it, it might be approapriate to call him somewhat retrograde. I guess it's the method whereby he reaches his conclusions.

2017-11-07 18:00:29 UTC  

Idk, help me sort it out guys.

2017-11-07 18:00:38 UTC  

if you feel so inclined

2017-11-07 18:05:42 UTC  

I don't know the guy

2017-11-07 18:06:22 UTC  

i mean, i have seen him talking good things about the alt right i guess

2017-11-07 18:06:24 UTC  

or something similar

Wew lad

2017-11-07 20:17:34 UTC  

Let's just take away rights willy nilly with no justification and when people speak up just strawman them 😀👍

2017-11-07 20:18:22 UTC  

If every verified Twitter lefty dropped dead we would lose nothing of value in society

2017-11-07 20:19:04 UTC  

America has as many guns as people

2017-11-07 20:19:21 UTC  

Confiscation is not an option

2017-11-07 20:19:47 UTC  

Cracking down on the black market is more impotant

2017-11-07 20:25:53 UTC  

Actually we have way more guns than people

2017-11-07 20:26:03 UTC  

Way, way way more

2017-11-07 20:26:20 UTC  

Like 2.3 guns per person

2017-11-07 20:26:47 UTC  

People don't realize there is a clean break between the legal market and illegal market for firearms

2017-11-07 20:27:37 UTC  

Most guns used in crime are handguns, primarily compact or subcompact low cost semi-autos, rarely in calibers larger than 9mm

2017-11-07 20:28:30 UTC  

Rifles used in crime are exceedingly rare, fewer than 5% of weapons confiscated by the police are long guns

2017-11-07 20:29:56 UTC  

The vast majority are stolen, most of the rest are straw purchases

2017-11-07 20:30:25 UTC  

People buying guns legally and using them in a crime is almost unheard of

2017-11-07 20:31:15 UTC  

Gun shops are required by law to keep records of sales for a short period of time
